ROCHESTER

l Rochester police are investigating an attempted homicide that occurred early July 23 and a robbery and attack police think may be connected.

Police said someone stood outside 299 Jefferson St. around 2:30 a.m. and fired four shots at a 24-year-old man who was on the porch, before fleeing.

A fragment of bullet debris struck the man, who was not seriously injured and did not require medical attention.

Earlier that morning, Rochester police responded to a report of a robbery and attack in East Rochester. Police said someone lured a 19-year-old Rochester resident to a vacant house in East Rochester. Once the man arrived around midnight, he was physically beaten and robbed of his money, police said.

Additional information was not being released.

l Rochester police are looking for a man who is facing charges of providing false information and providing false identification to law enforcement.

Police said Christopher Salada, 26, whose last known address is New Brighton, is also facing charges of retail theft and identity theft. Police said Salada was arrested at 2 p.m. June 27 for shoplifting at Shop ‘N Save in East Rochester after he attempted to take $31.98 in merchandise. Police said Salada used his brother’s identification and birth date, which showed he had no prior records. After Salada left, police learned he had lied about his identity, police said. Police also learned he was wanted for a probation and parole violation.

Police are asking anyone with information on Salada’s whereabouts to call 911.
